How to Make Roasted Baby Carrots:

You may use either farm-fresh baby carrots (if available) or bagged baby carrots. If using the farm carrots, be sure to slice them lengthwise into pieces to uniform cooking. Bagged baby carrots are ready to go, so no slicing needed!

After a short simmer to soften them, the carrots are coated in olive oil and seasonings and spread out on a foil-lined baking pan. Feel free to experiment with seasonings you like such as cinnamon, thyme, etc.

The fully roasted carrots will be crispy and golden. They make a delicious side dish to almost any meal. Try them with this recipe for Roasted Herb Pork Tenderloin.
